We know that marijuana is the most commonly used illicit drug and is federally classified as a Schedule I drug. We also know that drug testing helps to deter drug use and keep workplaces drug-free. Data from the National Survey on Drug Use and Health reports that there were 18.9 million past month marijuana users in 2012. Many of those users are employed.
As the legal and regulatory environment on “medical” and recreational use of marijuana continues to change, employers have more and more questions about their role drug-free workplace program. Employers face challenges such as off-duty use, impairment, employee protections for “medical” marijuana use as well as the uncertainty and variability of state laws.
